Brooklyn Funk Essentials is an international multicultural funk outfit led by bass player Lati Kronlund with Alison Limerick on vocals, Desmond Foster on guitar and vocals, Hux Nettermalm on drums, Ebba Åsman on trombone and vocals, Loïc Gayot on saxophone and Kristoffer Wallman on keyboards. The band started in New York in the early 90s where their ecclectic funk blending instrumentals with rap, dub-poetry and singing made them staples at the city’s hip hop jazz clubs. The band has released seven studio albums, from ‘Cool & Steady & Easy’ (1994), ‘In The BuzzBag’ (1998), ‘Make Them Like It’ (2000), ‘Watcha Playin’ (2008), ‘Funk Ain’t Ova’ (2015), ‘Stay Good’ (2019) and ‘Intuition’ (2023). On this YouTube page, we have collected some of the best videos of BFE.
